Bedridden rat-bitten woman dies
A bedridden woman in her 80s who was bitten by a rat amid an infestation in a suburb of Reading has died in hospital.
The woman and the family living next door were evacuated from their homes in Southcote in the Berkshire town in the beginning of July.
Police said she died two weeks later but her death was not believed to be related to the rat bite.
Reading Borough Council and Thames Valley Police are investigating.
The infestation has spread in the Byefield Road, Hatford Road and Brunel Road area of Southcote.
A spokesman for Thames Valley police said the woman died between 14 and 15 July and a post-mortem examination were inconclusive.
Additional tests are performed, but could take up to three months, he added.
He said police have worked with partner agencies to investigate the living conditions of women was found in his home from the road at the end of June Byefield.
Reading Borough Council said: "The board was extremely sorry to hear that the resident had died Byefield drive and sends its sincere condolences to the family.
"The council will continue to pass any information it has to the police to aid them in their investigation.
"Extensive work to identify the source of the infestation, which the council began the week before last, is continuing. This includes the laying of bait and drainage surveys in the localised area."
The council said its environmental health team had been working with Thames Water.
"The council's priority is to continue our investigation and provide the necessary support to householders," a spokesperson added.

The Stainless Steel Rat's LiveJournal - Film Review: Harry Potter ...
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011). Directed by David Yates. The story of course continues from Part 1, where Voldemort has just obtained the Elder Wand. Harry, Ron and Hermione are still pursuing horcruxes, with three left to find before they can kill Voldemort. The Death Eaters grip is firmer than ever though, with even Hogwarts taken over by Severus Snape. There's not an awful lot I can say about the Deathly Hallows Part 2. On the one hand watching any Harry Potter film is like putting on a pair of comfy slippers, as for me it's just good and fairly consistent entertainment. On the other hand I can recognise the story is basic, unoriginal, and even clumsy in some ways. The arguably frustrating thing about Harry Potter is that often this doesn't seem to matter because of the aforementioned comfiness of it all. Part 2 is the much more energetic sequel to Part 1, which felt like it was mostly spent in a tent. Special effects abound, and it's probably hard to spot a scene where they aren't used. Ultimately a great if not sad conclusion to the epic story, that will still be avoided by Harry Haters. A charitable 5/5 (Excellent).
